Romo is going to beast coming off the bye. He has finished as a top 10 QB every year as a starter. Big Ben is overrated. 2 top 10 finishes the past 5 years.

Big Ben. He has a fully loaded receiving core with Heath now becoming a top TE. Also a new OC who focuses more on the pass game, and the OL is looking real stout. This coming from a Steeler homer, but I think he'll have his best year yet.

Yes really. He use to be just a safety valve, but now he is an integral part of the offense Jimmy Graham, Gronk, Vernon D, Tony G.(didn't mean production wise, but he is more a part of the group instead of just somebody's name to yell for the fans)

I guess you could rely on him catching 4 TDs in 3 games, but that simply isnt reasonable. He's 18th in catches amongst TEs, 19th in yardage, and 22nd in targets. The cream will rise to the top while Pitta, Bennett, Miller, Rudolph will fade. They have already started declining in production.

Why are thinking I'm talking about starting him? I'm using his increased production this year as a reason to go all in on Big Ben.

You said he was a "top TE", which are starters in 10 and 12 team leagues? Ya know?

Relevant to consider he had a bye in Week 4 and they played the Eagles last week who are allowing some of the fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends of all defenses.

Well he is ranked 7th in standard so I guess it does make him a valuable starter. I'd put him around Pettigrew in terms of his actual production throughout the year.

Im talking about going forward. He had 4 TDs in 3 games. TDs are indicative of future success.
